Fliers claiming to be from Ku Klux Klan being distributed in Tallassee

TALLASSEE, Alabama -- Fliers claiming to be from the Ku Klux Klan have begun popping up in the Tallassee area.

The Tallassee Police Department posted the following today on its Facebook page:

"Our agency is aware of the flyers being distributed throughout our community. We are currently investigating this incident and are also patrolling neighborhoods to remove any flyers that we observe. At this point we have no information to indicate that these flyers originated from the organization displayed on these flyers. However we are still taking this incident seriously and will prosecute these individuals when they are identified.

The flier indicates it is from the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and it appears to be trying to recruit new members to a Park Hills, Mo. group.
